    You clearly didn’t read the article.

    Ehhh… No… you clearly did not read the article.

    I read the entire thing, twice, and ctrl f’d for ‘mask’.

    There is 0 mention of these ‘masked men’ you speak of.

    There are mentions of Israeli airstrikes hitting aid convoys, Israel attacking the Palestinian Police that would otherwise be responsible for security on these convoys, and Israel throwing up as much red tape and as many delays as possible to stall and block aid from moving.

    There was the Flour Massacre not too long ago, an aid convoy which was surrounded by starving Palestinians, whom the Israelis just began shooting.

    Also, as far as the hostages go, it seems clear now that the Hannibal Doctrine has been and is still in effect: If a hostage is too difficult to rescue, Israel just kills them!

    I struggle to see another explanation for a hostage rescue operation that involves a massive airstrike or fucking tank shooting its main cannon at close range into where hostages are suspected to be.

    I am not going to go as far as the person you are responding to here and say ‘end Israel’ but uh yeah Israel is going completely fucking bonkers and regularly doing shit that would have gotten US forces in Iraq court martialled.

    They are acting like genocidal maniacs and it is disgusting that the US has folded on every single ‘red line’.

      “He saw groups of men with sticks waiting for trucks to leave the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza. All trucks he passed were badly damaged, with broken windshields, mirrors and hoods.”

      My personal bias filled in the masks. I guess I was holding out hope that they had some fear of consequence left.
